[elbe-devel] armhf buildtype on PC host?

[Norbert Nemec | BLOKS.]

Hi everybody,

possibly, my previous post contained to many different topics, so I will 
try to rephrase the one crucial problem that I am currently stuck on:

I am trying to set up a build environment for my ARM board, using my 
Intel notebook as development machine.

I am running the current git version of elbe (devel/elbe-1.0, commit: 
00ae84aa6e)

I have copied together a minimal ELBE XML file (see attached) from the 
rather confusing pieces of documentation.

Running
     elbe initvm create arm-example.xml
on this file, the log shows kvm being started up, running an amd64 
kernel, and the process list shows qemu-system-x86_64 running.

* Why are the armhf settings in the XML file ignored?
* How should a x86_64 VM be used to create images for an ARM board?!?
* Is the initvm method ready to be used for this purpose?
* Should I use the devel/elbe-1.0 branch at all or should I stick with 
master or elbe-0.5.8?

Thanks for any help!

Greetings,
Norbert
